Youth and Wellbeing Consortium

The Youth and Wellbeing Consortium is an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional group of researchers, educators, and child welfare professionals who are invested in improving the wellbeing of system-involved youth through research, practice, and policy.

The work of the members stretches across multiple fields of study and practice: education, social work, family court, media, mental health and psychology; and encompasses a number of related foci including but not limited to: child welfare and youth services; court improvement; race and racism in education; education of system-involved youth; gun safety and community violence; early childhood education; poverty and social class; immigration and education; humanizing media; participatory action research.

Together, the members of the consortium are pushing forward an agenda to improve youth wellbeing across a variety of domains, focusing especially on those young people who are made vulnerable through institutional involvements in juvenile justice (and other forms of detention) and foster care.
